During the first fortnight, the weather was warmer than usual for the season, the thermometer frequently approaching 70 during the day, and on several nights not sinking lower than 55. After the 14th, a considerable depression took place, the temperature during the day being sometimes only a few degrees above 50, and during the night several degrees below 40. It will be seen from the abstract, that the maximum on the 12th was 73, and on the 18th only 51, a difference of 22 degrees in less than a week. The average of the month is about a degree and a half below that of September last year, and the temperature of spring water is two degrees and a half lower. The mean height of the barometer is almost exactly the same as in 1819, and the quantity of rain is half an inch less. There is also a very striking coincidence between the two seasons in the state of the hygrometer, the difference being only half a degree of Leslie's on the millesimal scale. We have frequently had occasion to notice, how nearly the mean temperature at 10, morning and evening, corresponds with the mean of the highest and lowest during the day and night; but in no year since the commencement of our meteorological observations, has that coincidence been so close as during the present season. Since the month of April the difference has never exceeded a small fraction of a degree, and during all these months, the mean of the maximum and minimum, when it did differ from the mean of 10, morning and evening, has been the lower of the two. For a number of years preceding the present, the excess was generally on the other side. The difference last month is precisely the same side, as in September 1819.
